I'll overwhelm 'credible combatant' Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in an eight-bout fight which will be shown in real-time on Netflix.
British boxer Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" the American and "break" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to build hype for the upcoming boxing match.
Former twice unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces social media star turned fighter Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive disparity - at Miami's venue on December 19th.
Boxer's Attitude
"I'm going to injure his face and break his body up. I'm here to prove I'm the better fighter," the British boxer, 35 years old, said.
"I'll stamp all over him. That's the boxer's mindset.
"I will genuinely try to hurt him. That's my intention."
Respectful Exchange
Despite those words, a calm Anthony Joshua and internet personality Jake Paul - normally famous for his showmanship - were respectful and maintained decorum with each other.
Jake Paul rather criticized former Joshua's rival the Cameroonian fighter and described him as "ridiculous" after Ngannou declined a match opportunity.
Taking Aim at Tyson Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British opponent Tyson Fury - and declined a large bet 'Tyson Fury' says he will place on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here," the boxer said.
"I respect him for that."
Serious Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua declined to comment unfavorably about his opponent's pugilistic talent.
"Jake Paul is a legitimate boxer," he stated.
Paul's Background
Paul - who first rose to fame on the television network - has primarily fought MMA fighters or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Tommy Fury in last year.
Financial Attraction
Nevertheless, the inexperienced fighter remains one of boxing's largest money-making draws, consistently making substantial financial rewards.
Forecast and Belief
The 28-year-old forecast a KO victory in rounds four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected Fury-Joshua bout, which is apparently in the works for two years from now.
"It will be myself against Tyson Fury next year," Jake Paul stated.
Size Disparity
As the two fighters engaged in the usual stare-down, with their size difference clearly visible, it emphasized just how surprising this complete situation is - and how astonishing it is that the match is truly going ahead.
